What is MarkEdit?
MarkEdit is a free and open-source Markdown editor, for macOS. It's just like TextEdit on Mac but dedicated to Markdown.
What makes MarkEdit different
- Privacy-focused: doesn't collect any user data
- Native: clean and intuitive, feels right at home on Mac
- Fast: edits 10 MB files easily
- Lightweight: installer size is about 4 MB
- Extensible: seamless integration with Shortcuts and AppleScript
- MarkEdit is designed to be simple and easy to use. You can also customize the UI and behavior by adding your own scripts, including utilizing CodeMirror extensions.
For example, use MarkEdit-preview to add a preview pane, and MarkEdit-theming to customize themes.
Comments and Reviews
Fast and efficient editor. Shows all markdown syntax, while also styling text appropriately (bold, lists, links, etc).
